MS Office Forum / Word / Document Management / May 2008Want to open and bulk convert Word 2 files
Hi I have alread posted this but it ended up on a mac group. I have many old Word 2 files and am using Office 2007 so can't acess them. I'm looking for how to open n individual file and how to bulk convert them to a later format. Alexa The old Word for DOS converter which you can grab from my web site should open them. The filter will produce a security warning so bulk conversions are somewhat problematical as there does not appear to be a way to cancel the warning. You may as well save them as you need to use them.

I downloaded the Word (for DOS) converter for Word and unzipped it but don't know how to use it. Will you explain?

If the filter is installed in the correct folder it should allow you to open files of that type in Word. Word should be able to recognize files it can handle and apply the correct filter. If it doesn't then set Word 2007 to prompt for the converter - Office Button > Word Options > Advanced > General > Confirm file format conversion on open.
